Getting Ready

Select a flat 18-by-18-foot area that gets at least six hours of sun daily. To form your maze, you will make three circles, each with a different radius: 3, 6 and 9 feet. Poke a stake into the center of the plot and loosely tie the end of a 9-foot rope to it.

Have your child grab the end of the rope, stretch it to full length, and walk in a circle. You can follow behind with a hoe and use it to outline the circular bed. Repeat this procedure holding the rope at the 6- and then 3-foot points to form two additional circles.

Each of these rings is the outer edge of a 1-foot-wide planting bed. The remaining areas are path-ways. Leave at least one opening in each planting ring so you can move from one section of the maze to another. Prepare the beds for planting (see Preparing the Soil). Work a 2-inch layer of well-aged manure into each bed.
